Maybe it’s because im scared
Maybe it’s because im unprepared
Or maybe I just feel compared
Maybe it’s because we fight
And I always say things out of spite
Or maybe it’s because you didn’t ring me tonight
Maybe it’s the way you hold me
Maybe it’s because we hardly ever agree
Or maybe I know I can’t really guarantee
Maybe it’s because I don’t want you to pretend
Maybe it’s because I don’t want this to end
Or maybe it’s because you’re my best friend
Maybe it’s because they say love is blind
Maybe it’s because it’s that one song that brings you to mind
Or maybe I just need to unwind
I honestly don’t know
But without a doubt
I will spend the rest of my life
Trying to figure it out
Author notes
I actually wrote this the other day, I was feeling quite sad, but not because we were actually arguing, we'd argued and made up. I'll leave it to your mind to think about what the 'maybe' was about.

this is a really good poem. I love the way you question the thought. Keep writing, thanks for commenting on my poem.

Maybe the argument was something big for you to come up with this. You make me want to find out what maybe is really all about...
Seriously though, the emotions- the sadness, the longing... they all fit this piece wonderfully.
Who knows maybe you'll make up again.
blessed be

Thanks so much! Thats what I really wanted to go to, thats what poetry is meant to be about, using the imagination. I want people to wonder and boggle about what our arguments are really about and mostly how you truly wont ever understand. Thanks so much for your comment I truly appreciate it

Well then I shall boggle away... 
^^,
Yes I completly understand you... I also try to leave the readers somethings to think about when I'm writing. Just to make them go
"what is she talking about?" or it's just that I don't want anyone else to know what I'm really talking about 
I am ssure with your imagination you can craft a lot of wonderful poems.
So just keep writing I'm sure I'll be back reading and commenting.

I love poems that make me think, I can just close my eyes and picture myself in the situation, I love how poems can do that, it's so powerful it's unbelievable. Poetry's a beautiful art that just holds so many secrets, to me, poetry is like my best friend, I tell my poetry how I feel, I let out all my feelings and therefore I dont let my problems bother me at school. I hope one day I will be able to produce one of the poems I dream about xx
